After receiving a positive draft slot (No. 4 overall), Liam's Team had a wonderful performance. With Melvin Gordon III and David Johnson expected to combine for the 3rd-highest point total of all starting RB groups in the league, Liam's Team are projected to finish 2nd in Hiawatha Elite League with a mark of 11-2 (1,637 points).
- Mohamed Sanu
Biggest Steal: What a great late-round value for Liam's Team, who picked up Sanu in the 13th round, about two rounds later than his ADP of 127. Coming off a season in which he recorded 66 receptions for 838 yards and 4 TDs, totaling 116 fantasy points, Sanu is projected to score 117 fantasy points with the Falcons. That makes him the No. 6 WR for this squad.
- Calvin Ridley
Going out on a Limb: Are you in a sharing mood? We'd love to hear what prompted the selection of Ridley with the 4th pick in the 5th round, about 17 picks earlier than his ADP of 69. Projected to score 138 fantasy points this season with the Falcons, he'll aim to match his rookie year when he hauled in 64 passes for 821 yards and 10 TDs, totaling 143 fantasy points. Ridley will slot in as the No. 2 WR for Liam's Team, according to projections.
Draft Notes
-
Liam's Team went especially deep at wide receiver, selecting the most of any team in the league with six, surpassing the league average of just 5. On the other end of the spectrum, the squad is somewhat light at running back, selecting the fewest of any team in the league with only three. The average for the league is 4.7.
-
Week 6 could be a rude awakening for Liam's Team, as they have four players on a bye (Mitchell Trubisky, Tarik Cohen, Adam Vinatieri, and Devin Funchess). Zack's Team, your Week 6 opponent, won't be nearly as short-handed with only one player (Buffalo) getting the week off.
-
With a strength of schedule that ranks as the easiest based on projected records, Liam's Team won't face too many speed bumps in Hiawatha Elite League this season. But that doesn't mean you should coast through the season. For players who aren't diligent, even the lightest schedules can present roadblocks.
-
With the 2nd-oldest group in the league at an average of 6 years of NFL experience, Liam's Team have compiled a fairly old lineup. Case in point: they didn't pick any of the 12 rookies drafted.

How We Grade
Draft grades are based strictly on teams' draft performances. This is calculated by counting the number of fantasy points teams are projected to score over the course of the season using their optimal line-ups. The grades do not take schedule into account. Because of bye weeks and other variables it is possible to earn a high grade yet be projected to finish in the middle of the pack. The opposite is also true. Bottom line: Fantasy Football is like the real game. You can draft the greatest talent in the world but you still need to manage your team every week to get the most out of that talent. As a wise man once said, "On any given Sunday..."
